Question

On a Linux computer with IDE drives, the naming convention is /dev/hdXY, where X represents the drive (a for primary master, b for primary slave, c for secondary master, and d for secondary slave) and Y represents the partition number. In this case, it is the first partition on the primary master IDE drive, so the correct path is /dev/hda1. Option A (/dev/sda1) is incorrect because it is the naming convention for SCSI, SATA, and USB drives. Option B (/dev/hdb1) is incorrect because it denotes the first partition on the primary slave IDE drive. Option D (/dev/ide1) is not a valid path in Linux.
